I have been a VY fan for years. Not my favorite player but a fan nonetheless. Either way, I haven't been surprised by what happened in Tenn. Fisher and him never seen eye to eye. VY isn't Fisher's type of QB, not smart enough. VY gets a bad rap for his IQ but his Football intellect is on par with guys like Big Ben, Bradshaw, Jake Plummer, Cunningham, etc. He has had some mental issues in Tenn with not dealing with mistreatment well but more than not, a lot of people have those issues in that situation. You don't believe me, find a disgruntle worker with bosses who hate them and see where his mental stake is at. Not very good generally speaking. I am personally not a Bills fan nor am I even a Fitzpatrick fan. I personally think Fitz is in the same tier with Kyle Orton and to be honest, I think Orton is better. I don't think Fitz is QB who can take you far. Maybe the team can but not Fitz. I personally think he is an average QB like Orton. Stat wise they look the same.
I look at Vince in the same way I look at Matt Ryan, Hasslebeck, and Brad Johnson. Very talented or skilled players who need a lot of support. VY to me is a game manager who needs the run establish and to be a Super Bowl winning QB, he needs a very good to elite defense. Some what like Johnson and Ryan. Now he is a lot more talented than Ryan and Hasslebeck but those two are extremely smart. While VY is more so at the bottom in terms of NFL starters with Big Ben and others.
VY is accurate on short range and deep range passes. VY can extend plays. VY is very clutch. VY has a winners genes. VY gives you team a chance to win the game and can win the game for you. VY isn't very intelligent. VY can't carry a team like a Brady or Manning can. VY will likely never be an elite QB.
Read this from two years ago:
In his first four NFL seasons (2006-09), amassed a 26-13 regular season record as a starter. His .667 winning percentage qualified as the best regular season winning percentage in franchise history and the fourth best among quarterbacks drafted between 2000-2009 (Brady, Rivers and Roethlisberger).
• Has engineered 11 career game-winning performances, leading his team to victory after a fourth-quarter deficit or tie, including six times in 2009.
• Started the final 10 games of the 2009 season, leading the team to an 8-2 finish after the club began the campaign 0-6. Named to the Pro Bowl after completing 152 of 259 passes for 1,879 yards with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions for a career-high 82.8 passer rating.
• In 2007, directed the team to Wild Card playoff berth, becoming 11th quarterback drafted in first round since 1983 to lead his team to playoffs within his first two seasons.
• In 2006, was named Associated Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers of America Offensive Rookie of the Year, Sports Illustrated Rookie of the Year, Sporting News Rookie of the Year and Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year (fan voting) after setting every rookie passing record for the franchise, completing 184 of 357 passes for 2,199 yards and 12 touchdowns.
• Additionally gained 552 yards on 83 rushing attempts (6.7 avg.) in 2006, becoming first quarterback in Super Bowl era (1966-present) to rush for 500 yards as rookie. Tied for team high with seven rushing touchdowns, also first for a rookie quarterback in Super Bowl era.
Before hurting his thumb he was having his best season 98.6 QB rating a whopping 16 points higher than his previous career best. In (2009QB Rating 82.8)
He completed a respectable 60 percent of his passes And win record of 30/17.
And last but not lease is lack of studying film and reading defense and running the offense and leadership. Well let look at that how does a QB in the NFL improves his skills in his QB rating 82.8 to 98.6 in one season. How does a QB take 0-6 team and go 8-2 without leadership now these are the same players who went 0-6.
There is no outright admission that Young wasn’t as studious as he needed to be earlier in his career. But read what offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger and Collins have to say about Young’s study habits now and connect the dots. “I think his work habits have been great,” Heimerdinger said.
“He’s been spending the time, he’s been studying it. If I put something in new on Wednesday and he struggles with it, he comes back Thursday and has it down cold. He’s really working at it, he’s doing the things that you are supposed to do. He’s got to be taking it home and studying it. If I’ve got a real wordy formation and play, he has it down cold the next day. The stuff I always wondered if he’d do, he’s doing.”
Soon to be former Titans QB Vince Young posted the fourth best passer rating on third down in the league last season.The quarterbacks in front of Young were Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, and Jon Kitna. Behind V.Y. were Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, Michael Vick, and Philip Rivers in that order. Young played in nine games with eight starts, so it isn't like this is a small sample size.
And Young can be that stud. He has done everything well at times during his career. He’s staged comebacks. He’s been an effective short passer. He’s been an effective long passer – in fact, according to the film-scouring crew at ProFootballFocus.com, Young was the league’s best deep passer in 2010. Not Peyton Manning or Philip Rivers. But Vince Young.
And he’s led a ball-control offense without taking sacks or turning the ball over.
